We chide her for her foolish ways, We sneer at what she wears; The vanity that she displays And all her empty airs Are things we still go scoffing at, But she exists--thank God for that! Her glibness--ah, how many jests Has it to answer for! And still for her we beat our breasts And plan and plot and war. We scorn her, thanking him above That she is here to tempt--and love. S. E. Kiser. A Kiss. Rose kissed me today. Will she kiss me tomorrow? Let that be aa it may, Rose kissed me today, (But the pleasure gives way To a savor of sorrow. Rose kissed me today. Will she kiss me tomorrow? Austin Dobson. THE GIRL who spelled it "Maeie" was a long way from home, orthogspeaking, but what, oh, what shall be said of the magazine writer who spells hers as follows, viz, to-wit--"Eighme?" THE Indiana tin plate worker who filed a petition in voluntary bankat Elwood, with liabilities of $239.10, for beer, whisky and ciand no assets, seems to have been a pretty good worker in other lines than tin plate. SHERBURN M. Becker, the wealyoung mayor of Milwaukee, adother young men to enter poli"but not for the money there is in it." How easy it is to spurn the cashier when you have made a hatful! SOCIETY sharps say, and what they say must be so, that proposals and obsolete. Yet there's no dearth of engagements. It is said that the girls are so clever now that men find themselves engaged before they know it. But it is not denied that they like it just the same as of yore. CARDINAL Gibbons believes in newspapers as moral agents. Speak ing of popular abuses and their reme dies, he says: "Broad and liberal disof prevalent abuses and their causes, fixing responsibility and dis closing criminality, are doing much to remedy these abuses, and to bring business morality back to the point of safety." In other words, publicity is a cure, and how can there be pubwithout the press? The following from the South Bend Tribune will strike a chord in the heart of many a Hammondite who feels that we deserve some where near as much recognition from the railroads as the home of break fast foods: 'The new Grand Trunk station at Battle Creek, Mich., is a thing of beauty. It is a structure of which Battle Creek may well be proud and South Bend somewhat envious. The railway company appears to hav spared neither pains nor expense in erecting a building which not onl amply meets every need of the travpublic, but is exceedingly at tractive as well. Battle Creek is to be congratulated upon being so fav ored. In the meantime South Bend can only hope for the best. It has otten been reported that a new station would be erected here but each and every time the report has proven to be nothing more than mere rumor and never based on fact The Grand trunk railroad doesn't seem to be disposed to grant any such favors to South Bend. It appears to be qttite content with a station which is an eyesore and wholly out of proportion with the size of the city and the volume of business done. Battle Creek, with its handsome stacan have double reason to be proud if it compares the structure with the one which the railroad company has the courage to call its South Bend station. At present the best that this city can do is to be

glad that some places are favored and, if she likes, buy a steak and a and believe that there may come a salad for her dinner, a paper bag of time when rumor will be founded on fried potatoes, sweets and some flowers for her window. Democracy is king here, and no more attention is paid to THE leadine paragraphs under the millionaire who is looking for some-

head of "Comment" in the current Harper's Weekly essay to set forth the claims on which the Republicans ill seek to elect a majority of the

next house of representatives. There are two keynotes, as stated by Har-per's--one that of Speaker Cannon, that the 59th was "a congress of

achievement" whose notable achievements should be approved. The other way of preliminary Harper's remarks that--There is something to be said for j each of these proposals. It it were true that the Republican party deserves the whole credit for passing the three great laws lately framed in the public inthe Railway rate act, the meat inspection act, and the pure food act--its leaders would do well to make the coming fight turn solely or mainly on this issue. The party that has made good is likely to be ousted in favor of a party that only promises. The weekly goes on to comment, however, that all three of these great measures received cordial democratic suport in the house, whereas the limitations, called "mutilation," put on the meat bill and the rate bill were the work of Republicans. The Weekly thinks the "achievement" would have been greater with a Democratic house and that the presi dent was not only supported by his party in congress and therefore in dorsement of him cannot be logical ly urged as a plea for Repubican success in the coming congressional elections. It may be questioned, however, if logic will be pressed to such a refineby the voters at any poll in America. When all is said and done there is a "sweet reasonableness" about the mass of Americans, and they are apt to judge of the course of a party in power by the ultimate, outcome of its internal conflict over details. No party worth the name votes or acts en bloc. Its action on a public question is the result or controversy and the net result is what the voter takes as the party's action. Individuals will run on their own records, of course, but as a par ty the responsibility at the polls is for what it achieves with or without external help or hindrance. Three admittedly great achieve ments stand to the credit of the party as a whole, and on this record Mr. Cannon may very advantageously ap peal to the people for approval of the party. Mr. Roosevelt has the addiclaim of an altogether excepinitiative and phenomenal persistency in support of all these measures., That he won in the face of party opposition is to his credit, surely, and that a sufficient number of his party in Congress stood by him may be claimed as a credit to both. As to what a Democratic House might have done, that is altogether too conjectural for serious considerain the choice of Representatives in Congress. The Democracy unhelped Mr. Roosevelt. As an opportunist party, and the Weekly will not deny that the Democracy has only a tactical policy on most ques tions, the members of the Democracy in Congress chose which wing of the Republican majority they would supon questions brought up for ac tion by the Republicans. They did not originate any of the legislation and their attitude in relation to it while commendable so far as it helped along the reforms for which the President and his supporters fought, does not detract from the credit due to Mr. Roosevelt and his party as a whole for the beneficicnt results achieved. WITH THE EDITORS. The announcement that John Sharp Williams has been deputed to call on Mr. Bryan and remonstrate with him regarding his ideas on the government ownership of railroads, is calculated to provoke a national smile. Mr. Bryan is getting on the rocks before he even so much as reaches home. The idea of govern- ment ownership of railroads is said to be particularly obnoxious to the outhern Democrats because its practical application would elimi"Jim Crow" cars and give the blacks equal privileges with whites in the railroad carriages of the south. To many thousands of subDemocrats in the north the idea is repugnant for an altogether different reason, and if Mr. Bryan understakes to incorporate his soscheme into the party plathe will be made painfully cogof the fact.--Fort Wayr.e News. Paris Secondhand Market. There is a curious old market near Paris in which everything is sold at second hand. Working girls can fit themselves out there from head to foot. As a writer says, "Mimi can sell her old felt hat and buy a straw one, exchange her old dress for a new one thing marvelous which he may pick up cheap than to the man with the wooden leg who wants a new left boot in exchange for a dozen sardine tins, five gloves and a stockin

The number may be intended as a gentle hint to the noctornal marauders to be on their way. The city should give conductors police power while on duty; especialthose who pass the White House on their runs. It is a good thing for the local Democratic administration that the cause of Hammond's bad water has been found to be South Chicago dredges. Paris is mystified at the finding of figures imprinted on a girl's eye. It is no uncommon find. Figures in the girl's eye weigh more than any other qualities in modern matriAlmost every girl has them. Indiana is fast getting the repuof being one of the few prize fighting states of the union. Pennsylvania, Nevada and Califorare the ony other states that tolerate the sport. A St. John man has installed a hot air engine which pumps the water throughout his whole buildIt is the first one to be used in the county. The principle of ushot air for pumping, however, is an old one. The South Chicago muckrakers pollute our city water.

The mayor of one of the communes of Augers had ordered a gamekeeper and a butcher to take a madman named Legrand to the St. Gemines lunatic asylum. On the way the gamekeeper noticed that their charge was in one of his lucid intervals and concluded that he would never consent to be handed over to the authorities. It was decided, therefore, to make him drunk, and all three adjourned to the nearest inn. Letook his liquor kindly. So did the others. And when the trio arrived at the asylum the governor could not make head or tail of their story. He therefore wired to the mayor, asking him which was the man who was to be detained. The mayor replied Lebut the telegraphist spelled it in two words, "Le grand" (the tall one). The governor, on examining the three men, saw that one was much taller than the others, so he promptly clapped him into a strait waistcoast and sent the other two away. It was three days later before the error was discovered. Bismarck Forgave. Bismarck could forgive, but he wished to do it after proper solicitaAt the beginning of the Danish war Field Marshal Wrangel, who was at the head of the Prussian troops, was exceedingly annoyed at one point to be telegraphed not to advance farther, and he returned a message telling King William that "these diplomatists who spoil the most successful operadeserve the gallows." After that Bismarck ignored him completely, and one day they met at the king's table. where it was especially awkward to preserve a coldness. Wrangel called everybody "du," and presently he turned to Bismarck, who was seated next him, and said, "My son, canst thou not forget?" "No." was the curt reply After a pause Wrangel began again. "My son, canst thou not for"With all my heart." said Bisand the breach was healed. The Redwood. Redwood forests are practically unby forest fires, and it is compractice for the lumbermen to fell the trees and peel the bark from them and whoa the dry season is on set fire to the felled timber and burn the branches and bark and other wreckage without practical injury to the saw logs, which procedure would mean disto any other wood. Redwood contains no resin or turpentine of any kind, and, owing to its great resistant qualities in severe climatic conditions, is free from cracking or decay, where cinders might lodge and start fires. When burning, it is easily extinguished with a small quantity of water. It has the appearance of burnt cork and is harder to ignite a second time than at first.--Scientific American. Economy. Investigator--I have been in this saufactory from both ends, and I don't see what you are going to do with all that stuff and dirt on the floor. Proprietor--Don't worry about that.

A TRIBUTE TO GRASS.

Poetic Eulogy That Was Pronounced by Senator Insgalls. The following tribute to grass, writ ten by the late Senator Ingalls of Kanshould be preserved: "Majestic, fruitful, wondrous plant! The corn triumphant, that with the aid of man hath made victorious procesacross the tufted plain and laid foundation for the social excellence that is and is to be. This glorious plant, transmuted by the alchemy of God, sustains the warrior in battle, the poet in song and strengthens everywhere the thousand arms that work the purposes of life. "Next in importance to the divine profusion of water, light and air, those three great physical facts which renexistence possible, may be reckthe universal beneficence of grass. Exaggerated by tropical heats and vato the gigantic cane congested with its saccharine secretion or dwarfby polar rigors to the fibrous hair of northern solitudes, embracing be tween these extremes the maize, with its resolute pennons, the rice plant of southern swamps, the wheat, rye, baroats and other cereals, no less than the humbler verdure of the hillpasture and prairie in the temzone, grass is the most widely distributed of all vegetable beings and is at once the type of our life and the emblem of mortality. Lying in the sunshine among the buttercups and the dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence than the minute tenof the mimic wilderness, our earrecollections are of grass, and when the fitful fever is ended and the foolish wrangle of the market and the forum is closed grass heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. "Grass is the forgiveness of nature, her constant benediction. Fields tramwith battle, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grass, and carnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by traffic become grass grown like rural lanes and obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleaguered by the sullen hosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregnable fortress of its subterranean vitality and emerges upthe first solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by wandering birds, propagated by the subtle horticulture of the elements, which are its ministers and servants, it softens the rude outof the world. Its tenacious fibers hold the earth in its place and prevent its soluble components from washing into the wasting sea. It invades the solitudes of deserts, climbs the inacslopes and forbidding pinnaof mountains, modifies climates and determines the history, character and destiny of the nations. Unobtruand patient, it has immortal vigor and aggression. Banished from the thoroughfare and the field, it bides its time to return, and when vigilance is relaxed or the dynasty has perished it silently resumes the throne from which it has been expelled, but which it nevabrogates. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses, with fraor splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than the lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet should its harvest fail for a single year famine would depopulate the world." Animals' Tails. Though most animals possess a tail, either in the full or the incipient stage of growth, few of them use it to the same extent as the kangaroo, the scorthe horse and the giraffe. What was its destined use? That it was not destined for ornament is shown by the fact that in certain vertebrae it is proved to be an extension of the vertebral column. A satisfactory solution is ta be found, I think, in the hypothethat the tail in animals is nothing else than the taproot of vegetables, which has become obsolete or useless owing to the fact that the living being has long since adopted another method of struggling for existence.--Brooklyn Eagle. A Powerful Writer. The late Rufus E. Shapley, the brilPhiladelphia lawyer, wrote "Solid For Mulhooly," which had an immense success. Once at a dinner an editor congratulated Mr, Shapley warmly on "Solid For Mulhooly." The editor said was powerfully wri en. Mr. Shapley replied: "Yes, powerful Writer.

Argonaut. Both Prospered In Consequence. Father-in-law--Extravagance, exYou offer me a fifteen cent cigar! When I was your age I couldn't afford anything better than a fiver! Son-in-law (who has just got a girl with a fortune)--Exactly; otherwise I could not afford anything better now myself.--Fliegende Blatter. Plain. Lecturer on Woman's Rights--Wo-has risen.
